Oh Darling is phenomenal; however, Bruce Dickenson is probably the best rock singer of all time. Few others have his range (Mike Patton, MJK, Lane to name a few), but Bruce has something to his singing and style that makes it perfect to me.

This is a pretty good answer, actually.

I would add Lennon and McCartney on "She's Leaving Home" as well.

Even though Daltrey has more technical range, I prefer Townshend as a singer. PT has a personality and the ability to communicate emotion that Daltrey lacks.

How about one of the greatest metal singers of all time playing an acoustic Les Miserables cover?

Lennon (solo) screaming on Mother is the best of their songs for screaming. What makes it so powerful is you can feel his pain every time he does so. While he's not getting as high pitched, it's the emotion that wins it for me.


ETA: looks like Kafka beat me to it

If there is a better combination of vocal ability and guitar prowess than Richie Kotzen, I haven't seen it.

A better example of Dev's vocal versatility. The control he has over his vocal fry is next level. He also channels another dimension at 7:00

"If you feel like it at any point....pick a tempo."

whether you "like" the song or not (i don't), i think its correct to say its the best vocal performance in rock.
